BEFORE THE SECOND ACT BEGINS

BEFORE THE SECOND ACT BEGINS

A Poem by Miss Sharon

BEFORE THE SECOND ACT BEGINS

It's 2A.M. and I sit on the edge of sanity
wrapped within a need like a token of love
with one hand clapping in the silence.

The compass to happiness lies broken
like a lark in prime-time, broad-band illusion.
Part of me remembers this play on stage and
knows the second act is always better...

Yet tonight as sleep once again locks herself in a
different room, I am a worn and wrinkled sleeve
who always leaves before the second act begins.
